Stuart Hough, Sunnyside Trading Co.

It’s been a very long time since I was a student in a classroom. Well…since I was a student in what you might consider a “typical” classroom: the kind with four walls, desks, no screens, and a chalkboard (there were chalkboards back in my day!).

Throughout my life, I’ve always enjoyed learning. And much of this has occurred outside of the confines of a classroom. I have grown simply by being open to experiencing new things, people, cultures, and ways of thinking and being. And I’m not done yet!

The start of August coincides with some significant transitions: we say “goodbye” to the carefree spirit and freedom of Summer and say “hello” to Fall routines and the beginning of the school year.

To celebrate this time of change and help you get your space ready for a wonderful new season of learning for all ages, we have identified some Old Silk Road treasures that make school-ing stylish.

We’ve got bookcases to hold your texts and notebooks; vintage desks with lots of storage and work space; antique boxes with built-in compartments to organize your supplies; and the most comfortable chairs and floor poufs for study time.

Finally, we are excited to share with you that we have extended our 5-year Anniversary Sale through the end of August!

This means that all items storewide will be available for purchase at a discount of 15% to 25% based upon the purchase amount. (For our long-distance customers, give us a call to get the discount.)
